[kictanet] Oriti Daktari...

4 Feb 2009

      Dear Friends,

On behalf of the entire Kenya e-Learning Center stakeholders and partners, i
express our deep sense of Loss and grief.

KeLC was born out of a challenge Dr Juma gave me in March 2006. I had just
come back to office from Addis Ababa after attending a graduation workshop
for a 7 month blended learning course (eLDI) offered by inWEnt. After
admiring my nice certificate, He asked me, "Now that you have successfully
graduated, how can you contribute towards the effective implementation of
e-Government in kenya"? I had to think fast, and i answered that we could
establish an e-Learning center along the lines of the successful Namibia
eLC. He imemdiately asked me to draft a brief to him justifying why we need
an eLC and the process of establishing it.

3 years down, we are fully established as a multi-stakeholder e-Learning
center, physically hosted by KIE and with over 30 public sector institutions
on board. computers and other equipment were generously provided by Our
e-Champion. Sadly, he is not here with us but may His legacy and spirit live
on forever!

Waudo,
Thanks for clarification. I think Tin Tin meeting is meant for E-Government
Staff but will confirm this afternoon on attending a meeting scheduled at 2
pm to discuss the same. Will keep you posted.
Kind regards

Just to add to this information Barnabas - there are actually 2 other
meeting places i.e. the home (opp. Masaba Hospital) and Lagoon Bar & Grill
opposite Yaya Centre. When I visited the home last evening I gathered that
the Lagoon venue is specially for friends and colleagues and is a good place
to put together a coordinated plan for an appropriate send-off for our
brother.

Oh my!

This is truly shocking and quite untimely (from a selfish and human

point of view). We have indeed lost a truly humble, dedicated and

distinguished academician and civil servant.

May God rest his soul in eternal peace.

...
...
...
...
Folks,
...
...
...
...
...
...
There's a proposed law called "Freedom of
...
...
...
Information" and a Bill has
...
...
...
been prepared to that effect.
...
...
...
...
...
...
I understand this law will repeal archaic
...
...
"Sirikali"
...
...
...
(Official
Secrets
...
...
...
Act) and armed with it, you can demand information
...
...
...
you need from
...
...
...
government and it will be criminal for civil
...
...
...
servants to deny you the
...
...
...
information!
...
...
...
...
...
...
To help us understand the need for this law, its
...
...
...
genesis, the
...
...
...
implications, how it affects us and what its means
...
...
...
for Civil Servants,
...
...
...
government and companies, Chris Gitari and Peter
...
...
...
Gitonga both of
...
...
...
ICJ-Kenya <http://www.icj-kenya.org> have agreed
...
...
to
...
...
...
lead an FOI
...
...
...
discussion here next week. They are the experts so
...
...
...
they will
...
...
...
co-moderate the session as lay me from over here
...
...
...
deep down the
...
...
...
trenches contributes by asking questions like you;)
...
...
...
...
...
...
It is proposed be a 5-day discussion from
Monday 2nd
...
...
...
February to
...
...
...
Friday 6th as follows:
...
...
...
...
...
...
Day 1 (Mon) -  DEFINING FREEDOM OF INFORMATION &
...
...
THE
...
...
...
PURPOSE OF A FOI BILL
...
...
...
...
...
...
Day 2 (Tue) -  THE
RIGHT TO INFORMATION &
...
...
ACCESSING
...
...
...
OF INFORMATION
...
...
...
...
...
...
Day 3 (Wed) - APPEALS, OFFENCES, PENALTIES &
...
...
...
MISCELLANEOUS
...
...
...
...
...
...
Day 4 (Thur) - CASE STUDIES
...
...
...
...
...
...
Day 5 (Fri)  -  HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FREEDOM OF
...
...
...
CAMPAIGN
...
...
...
...
...
...
So prepare yourselves to find out about Freedom of
...
...
...
Information (aka
...
...
...
FOI) next week and we all ask them as many question
...
...
...
as we can.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Feel free to invite others to subscribe to this list
...
...
...
and to contribute
...
...
...
to the conversation.
...
